No the problem is his schedule. He works from 4:30 pm to 3 am. and leaves for work at 3:30 pm if not earlier. Since we both work nights, we get up late. Since he needs to eat, I make dinner the same time I’m making coffee. When we get done eating dinner at 1 pm, and that’s all cleaned up, I have to make him something to take to work. In between, I have to run any errands I have to do, as we only have one car (he can’t seem to bother putting a new battery in my car, and we haven’t needed more than one car in 3 years)and I’m doing some part time work at a friends business after my husband leaves for work (I walk there), before going to work myself.

I’m presently debating whether to stick a roast in the crockpot for tomorrow. I don’t really want to have to clean up the kitchen this time of the night and I hate waking up to a mess.

Exactly. How many working stiffs now a days can afford to spend the money on a cleaning lady? It didn’t cost much. If I recall $25 a shot, unless I asked her to do the fridge or something. And since I didn’t want to look like a slob, I cleaned before she arrived.

And she even found the diamond that had fallen out of my wedding ring once. I had looked for it for a week or two. And had vacuumed and looked through the bag, looking for it. She managed to find it. I suspect it had been trapped in the dogs hair or something.

mine was one of those women who liked to keep busy and had an hour to fill before her daughter got outta school — she wanted to spend it cleaning houses ‘for mad money’ until she married and he didn’t like the idea of his wife cleaning other peoples’ houses *sigh*
